00:04 The Last Dance has been unbelievable promotion for the NBA.
00:08 And somehow, it has put even more focus on LeBron James,
00:12 if he and the Lakers can return to the court, that is.
00:14 James has dealt with seemingly unrealistic expectations since he was a teenager.
00:19 So it is nothing new for him if those continue even now as he has a teenager of his own.
00:24 And in the grand scheme of things, James has nothing left to prove.
00:27 But right now, in this moment,
00:30 another LeBron championship would be the ultimate response to The Last Dance.
00:35 Because in a way, it almost feels like Michael Jordan just got his seventh ring.
00:39 But if James and the Lakers can return after everything, and
00:43 he can lead the Lake Show to a title in year 17, well, then you can flip the script.
00:48 As LeBron James would have answered the bell yet again with the added pressure of
00:52 Jordan looming over him in a more direct manner this time around.
00:56 And while he has expressed admiration for MJ,
00:59 I have no doubt he will also use this as motivation.
01:02 As in some ways, James and Jordan are the same.
01:05 They both have killer instincts when it comes to the game.
01:08 They just come across differently due to style of play.
01:12 If we thought LeBron was motivated at being the Wash King,
01:15 wait until his response to The Last Dance is documented.
01:18 I just hope he gets the chance.
